A Perfect Gift

This box contains chocolate-flavored versions of three great Kama Sutra products - Honey Dust, Body Souffle, and Body Paint. Everything is high-quality and tastes good. This is a great gift for chocolate lovers!

I got the Sweet Hearts Chocolate Box as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend. We loved it! This is a great product for a romantic night in, and it is packaged for gift-giving. The box is about three inches deep, heart shaped, and a beautiful burgundy color. Inside, along with some crinkled shredded paper filler, are three lovely chocolate flavored products.

My favorite is the chocolate flavored honey dust. I've reviewed Kama Sutra's honey dust before. It has been one of my favorite products for a long time, and the chocolate version lived up to my previous experiences with the dust. It tasted like really good hot chocolate mix, not artificial chocolate, and the texture was light and soft. It smells chocolaty as well, although not as rich as it tastes. It is a light tan in color, so it is visible on the skin if it is applied heavily, and it may leave stains on light colored sheets. It comes in a plastic bag inside a brown silk drawstring pouch. You can empty the bag into the pouch if you want, but I find it less messy to just keep the powder in the bag in the pouch, along with the little feather duster applicator it comes with. I like being able to keep the duster in the pouch but not in the powder itself.

What I like to do with the honey dust is to use the feather duster to tease and tickle my partner, leaving a trail of silky dust to make him smell and taste like chocolate. Then, when I get around to it, I'll lick and kiss some of the powder off of his skin. Kind of funny, I also discovered that the powder will transfer from one body to another. After sex I was amused to realize my chest smelled and tasted like chocolate. Yes, I licked some of it off of myself. It tastes really good!

The next treat in this pretty little box is the Chocolate Creme Brulee Body Souffle. This light cream is meant for massage and has a consistency like chocolate pudding in the little tub, but quickly melts into skin like a very light lotion, not greasy or sticky and kind of cooling. It has a slightly more artificial chocolate scent and taste, but it doesn't taste bad. In fact, the taste is very slight, just a hint of sweet chocolate flavor. I love the way it makes skin feel, very silky and smooth. I really wish there was more of this product in the box. This is one of the best massage products I've found, it's not as slippery as oils are, but it feels so much nicer on the skin. The fact that it's edible makes it even better. The label says it washes away with water, but I don't feel any need to wash it off after a massage with it.

The last product is the Dark Chocolate Body Paint. It comes with a stiff natural bristled brush to paint it onto your lover's body. While it doesn't exactly taste like melted dark chocolate, it does taste pretty good. There is a slight alcohol-like taste, but it isn't overpowering. The paint is pretty thick, but it goes onto skin pretty easily and is licked off easily too. It doesn't leave much of a sticky residue, but there's enough to want to at least wipe your skin off with a damp washcloth after use. The one big downside to the body paint is that it needs refrigeration after you open it, so it can't be kept in the nice heart-shaped box once you use it. Also, depending on who you live with, it could be pretty awkward explaining why you have flavored body paint in the fridge. Also, it gets hard in the fridge so you have to warm it up to get it back to paint consistency. I find that putting it in a bowl of hot water for a minute or two works best. If you get it too hot it will get runny and hard to paint with.

All in all, this is a wonderful anniversary or birthday gift for someone you love and is a wonderful start for a sensual night in. Each of the three products inside live up to the high quality standard I have come to expect from Kama Sutra, and the packaging is beautiful and practical.

Follow-up commentaryI still like it4 months after original review

I am happy to say that even with fairly frequent use (maybe once every two weeks or so) there is still a good bit of everything that came in the box. I knew from past experience that the honey dust lasts a very long time, but I am a little surprised the body souffle has lasted so well. A little bit goes a long way for a good massage and leaves skin tasting lovely. As for the chocolate sauce, we'd probably have less left over if it didn't have to be refrigerated after opening. Well, let me rephrase that. We'd probably have less of it if the refrigerator we had it in was in our spare room, which became my boyfriend's brother's room, and we just got the mini fridge moved into our room. Now it's close at hand, not in someone else's room, and we can use it again. I do recommend heating it a little before use once it is refrigerated. I have also caught my boyfriend just kinda tasting a little out of the jar from time to time. It tastes that good.
